♫ sunshine from the inside ♫

 

Over the long Easter weekend, my best friend and I had the privilege to go to Florida for some much needed r&r. I found this to be a perfect opportunity to experiment with my recently purchased 50mm 1.4 prime lens. Let me just say, I am OBSESSED. I'm really impressed with the image quality this lens is able to capture. Really great optical quality. I also love the bokeh effect so many of these images have thanks to this lens. Not only that, but this lens was super easy to travel with. I definitely would recommend it. Thanks to my best friend Rachel for being such a natural. Also love this fun tune by Hello Gravity. Happy Friday the 13th!

♫ and I'm as honest as a human can be 

but right now i don't dare to breathe 

'cause you painted a smile on my face ♫

♫ that sunset ♫

This shoot with my dear friend Tiana could not have been more fun. Her natural and effortless beauty really made my job so easy. Towards the end of the shoot in the field, we were racing against the sunset (and the cold!), but were really able to capture some great shots. The song I chose for this post is called That Sunset by The Lonely Biscuits. Tiana introduced me to this band because her lovely boyfriend Sam is the drummer. The Lonely Biscuits beautifully intertwine various forms of vocals and melodies to create a unique style of soul. Definitely worth checking out.

if it wasn't for the love then we'd just all lose it ♫
